Configure an SMS Pager Service

If you are using a GSM modem to send SMS messages to pager devices or mobile telephones, you need to configure SMS Pager Service database items to represent the SMS protocol.

For each GSM modem that you are going to use, you will need to configure one SMS Pager Service and one SMS Pager Channel.

1. Log on to your system via a User Account that has the Configure Database permission (see Allocating Security Permissions in the Geo SCADA Expert Guide to Security).
2. Display the Pager Service Form for the Pager Service item you want to configure. If the item does not already exist in the database, you will need to Create a Pager Service Database Item.
3. Configure the properties on the Identification, User Methods, Alarm, and Redirection tabs as required (see Tabs on Configuration Forms).
4. Select the SMS Service tab.
5. Configure the 'common' Pager Service properties on the tab (see Configure the Common Pager Service Properties).
